Two problems with PC

[DaelpixPhotos]

how about running IE with no addons

Click on Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and click Internet Explorer no Add-ons.

Just in case there is an extension ro add on blocking them

Tried it before you mentioned it

Have you tried the reg edit suggestion from Smokes earlier post that I copied for you?

Ah I didn't see that.

Should I delete Flash first before erasing it, or erase it then delete/reinstall flash?

 

[steaky360]

Not sure, it doesn't mention deleting flash at all so I guess just delete the reg key then reinstall flash (or repair depending on the option you are presented with).

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Ok

Edit: Is the key a long number such as {Q36GH5W-WH47-15rg-63B2-444420582229} ?

Edit 2 : Is the file name called CLSID ?

 

[steaky360]

I'd have been tempted to delete the entire thing. You are re-installing flash so any issues it would cause should be fixed when you re-install.

Do note, deleting the wrong thing in the registry can completely brick your entire machine, or at least what ever thing you're trying to change, so be very careful about deleting registry entries.
I haven't read the post that was linked, but if its not clear exactly what should be deleted from the post then I'd probably not delete it

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

It didn't work.

To be honest, I'm not that bothered about it really. If it isn't simple to fix, then I'm just not going to bother with it.

But I don't know why it's starting to do this when I've had it since November

Does the same happen in another browser? Have you tried Chrome or Firefox?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Firefox is what I use and and I've tried Internet Explorer

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Once in a while when I'm on youtube I click on a video and the page for that video keeps refreshing it's page. I need it sorting.

Edit: Does ActiveX have anything to do with it? Should I update it?
I have Adobe Flash Player9 ActiveX

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Now that I've deleted this HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\MIME\Database\Content Type\application/x-shockwave-flash and reinstalled Flash, It isn't there any more

 

[steaky360]

Does flash still work?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

I tried a site that uses flash and nope. Think I'll do a system restore

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

One of the sites it didn't work, but the others do.

Went back on to the page that didn't work and it works now

 

[steaky360]

Is the original problem gone?

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

Nope. It's hit and miss at getting the error message

 

[steaky360]

I think I'm stumped... I cannot think of a reason why it would work sometimes and not others.

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

I don't know what to do any more. Still haven't restored the computer. Been backing up my documents

 

[DaelpixPhotos]

YYEEESSS After all that. I've successfully succeeded in viewing embedded videos on the forum.

I restarted Firefox !

I'll let you all know if I still have a problem.
